A capacitor having capacitance 1μF1 \mu \mathrm{F} with air, is filled with two dielectrics as shown. How many times capacitance will increase? A capacitor having capacitance 1 μ F with air, is filled with two dielectrics as shown. How many times capacitance will

Options

  1. A1212
  2. B66
  3. C8/38 / 3
  4. D33

Correct answer

B. 66

Step-by-step solution

Key Idea : After filling with dielectrics the two capacitors will be in parallel order. As shown, the two capacitors are connected in parallel. Initially the capacitance of capacitor A capacitor having capacitance 1 μ F with air, is filled with two dielectrics as shown. How many times capacitance will C=ε0AdC=\frac{\varepsilon_0 A}{d} where AA is area of each plate and dd is the separation between the plates. After filling with dielectrics, we have two capacitors of capacitance. C1=K1ε0(A/2)d=82ε0Ad=4ε0Ad=4CandC2=K2ε0(A/2)d=42ε0Ad=2ε0Ad=2CC_1=\frac{K_1 \varepsilon_0(A / 2)}{d}=\frac{8}{2} \frac{\varepsilon_0 A}{d}=\frac{4 \varepsilon_0 A}{d}=4 C and C_2=\frac{K_2 \varepsilon_0(A / 2)}{d}=\frac{4}{2} \frac{\varepsilon_0 A}{d}=\frac{2 \varepsilon_0 A}{d}=2 C Hence, their equivalent capacitance Ceq=C1+C2=4C+2C=6C\begin{aligned} C_{\mathrm{eq}} & =C_1+C_2 \\ & =4 C+2 C=6 C\end{aligned} ie, new capacitance will be six times of the original.
